Anthony Stokes vows there'll be no pause in Celtic title stampede

We demand it from ourselves to perform in each game and nothing will change our approac

Anthony Stokes

The Hoops striker roared out his message after nabbing a brace in the 6-2 win over Dundee United at Parkhead on Saturday.

Celtic’s sixth successive league win opened an 18-point gap on second placed Motherwell and they take on St Johnstone tomorrow as virtual title certainties.

Yet Stokes insisted the Celtic players will take nothing for granted.

He said: “We won’t be taking our foot off the pedal. It’s nice to wrap it up early but even if we do, we will be expected to win every game anyway.

“We demand it from ourselves to perform in each game and nothing will change our approach.”

Midﬁ elder Kris Commons also hit a double, one from the penalty spot, and there were goals for defender Efe Ambrose and midﬁ elder Joe Ledley as Celtic bounced back from Champions League defeat by Juventus.
